What You'll Learn

Most data governance programs look good on paper — councils, charters, cross-functional representation — and still collapse when it matters most. In this executive briefing, David Marco, PhD, President & Executive Advisor at EWSolutions, breaks down why governance fails in practice and what it takes to build a governance organization that actually holds under pressure.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • The 4 most common myths that cause governance programs to fail
  • Why governance collapses when it’s treated as an operational function instead of a decision function
  • The Modern Data Governance Organizational Framework — built around Decision Authority, Decision Preparation, and Decision Execution
  • How to run an executive diagnostic to assess whether your governance organization can survive real pressure
  • Why strong governance is a prerequisite for AI at scale

Who should watch: CDOs, CIOs, Data Governance Leaders, Chief Data Stewards, and senior executives responsible for data strategy, compliance, and AI readiness.
